PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.-The last CEN
tennial Of the events of revolutionary
times has closed.
AL the hotels were filled to overflow
ing by yesterday morning and every inch
of surplus space had been filled with
cots. 1t is safe to say there are 200, 600
visitors from IL distance, hardly Il state or
territory remains to be represented in the
three days festival. The streets to-day
present an appearance that is lovely in
the extreme. The monster civic and in
dustrial pageant started from Broad and
Dauphine streets shortly after 10 o'clock
and marched to Broad and Moore streets,
Assistance of nearly five miles, and then
returned to the starting point, passing
through II continuous line of obserya-
ton stands gaily decorated with the flags
OF all nations. The scene at the grand
reviewing stand, opposite the Union
League clubhouse or Broad street, lust
below Ransom, wa a grand one. The
stands on either side of Broad street were
filled with people, and the gay colors of
the ladies' and children's raiment lent
beauty to the magnificent aud elaborate
decorations of the various stands them.

raised as a guarantee fund.
The hall is one of the finest edifices of
the kind in America. The corner stone
for the building was laid May 81, 1886.
The dimensions are 1870 feet front by 260
feet deep, and the cost has been about
$500, 600.
The style Of the building is Roman
esque: The front is red sandstone, the
rear and sides brick. The grand music
hall has n capacity to seat 800 persons.
A banquet room, bowling alley, library,
restaurant, confectionery, and drug store
will have rooms in the building especially
adapted for the various uses to which
they have been put.

CANTON, OAK, Sept. GA bad wreck
occurred on the Milwaukee road, near the
Sioux crossing, three miles east of Can
ton. Passenger train No. 2, bound east,
j. M. Morse, conductor, ran into the rear
end of freight train No. ~, both trains
going at full speed. The freight train
was switching at Inwood, Iowa, and the
rear brakes were not set. The rear part
of the train came laundering down grade
toward Canton, a distance of several
miles. and collided with the passenger.
Following is n list of the killed:
Andrew Derreth. who was in the
freight caboose asleep, lives at
Rock Valley, Iowa, and leaves o
family; w. A. Plogg, of McGregor, Iowa,
passenger engineer, leaves a family;
Charles Dunbar, of Mason City, Iowa,
passenger fireman.
The bodies have all been taken from
the wreck, and wrecking trains from both
directions are clearing away the debris.
Assistant Superintendent Gable, of Mason
City, is on the ground experimenting the
work. Ten passengers were in the
smoker, one in the express car and about
twenty In the first class coaches. Their
escape is truly miraculous. One baggage
and one mail car, locomotive, one smoker,
six cars of wheat, one car of cattle and
the freight caboose are piled into heaps or
scattered over the prairie. Curious sight
seers line the road to the wreck and sur
round the scene. Twenty members Of

short time afterward shattered into splin-
tiers. The collision occurred near
the edge of the high bridge across the
Sioux and ten seconds difference in
time would have thrown both trains into
the river. The blame is attached to c. IL.
Milliken, conductor of the freight, for not
setting his brakes ut Inwood. The bodies
of the lead are lying Mt the depot in this
city awaiting a %coroner's inquest. The
accident occurred Just across the Iowa
and Dakota line, and the coroner of Lyon
county, Iowa, has arrived here to hold an
inquest. C. H. Millikcn, the conductor
of the freight, finished his run, but the
whole crew will be removed by the COM
pany. 1t is probable the freight train
crew will be prosecuted for criminal neg
ligence. Assistant Superintendent Gable
is still here. The track will be cleared so
that night trains can pass. The wreck is
an expensive one for the company, both
trains being completely shattered.

Central line. They are to build on the
